|Introduction=Stone’s Hold is the fortified threshold of [[Kar-Thal]], a defensive and logistical district constructed around the massive [[Lithic Gate]]. As both the martial heart and shield-wall of the city, it serves as the primary base of operations for the [[Stonewarden|Stonewardens]] and the central node for material coordination, structural reinforcement, and civic defense.

|Function=The district’s role is twofold: to protect the entrance to Kar-Thal from physical and spiritual destabilization, and to serve as a strategic center for resource storage, emergency routing, and civic mobilization.

Its structures are built for permanence—wide corridors, chiseled vaults, pressure-displaced ceilings, and layered weight-bearing design. Stonewardens train, rest, and organize here, and civic defenders rotate through its muster halls regularly.

|History=Following early incidents of structural strain and deepshift instability, the district was established to provide both martial containment and memory-anchored protection of the city’s threshold.

It was also the site of the First Sealing—the moment when the [[Council of Kar-Thal]] and senior Stonewardens inscribed a stillstone lock upon the gate’s inner layers. This act bound Stone’s Hold to the city’s structural memory and elevated its function beyond mere fortification.

|Notable Locations=* '''Lithic Gate''' – The interlocking stone threshold guarding Kar-Thal’s exterior entrance. Moves subtly with seismic shifts and remains sealed during threat intervals.

* '''Bastion of Weight''' – The core stronghold and resting quarters for Stonewardens. Walls are layered with pressure-dispersing strata and engraved stability markers.

* '''Hall of Muster''' – A barracks and assembly vault where tactical plans are etched into slate and deployment axes are assigned with station-marks.

|Cultural Practices=Life in Stone’s Hold is defined by discipline and grounded silence. Each defender wears an unadorned stone band carved with their station-mark. The Hall of the Fallen maintains a memory tablet where the names of fallen wardens are inscribed without embellishment.
